Character A was orphaned rather young, and spent a lot of time in the foster care system because of it. However, seeking family as an adult, they purchased an ancestry test and found out they had a cousin. Intrigued, they contacted said cousin, who agrees to meet with them. During the meet, the cousin expresses interest in introducing Character A to their extended family during a wedding for another cousin of theirs; it's quite a huge decision, and although A is hesitant at first, they soon agree, and travel to London. The manor they arrive at is old and grand, with servants bustling about everywhere.

A eventually comes in contact with Character B, a strange and mysterious family friend who is visiting for the wedding. The two hit it off and start spending time with one another. However, A begins to grow suspicious and curious about the location of the bride and groom that the wedding was meant to be for. While A & B spend more time together and the wedding day closes in, A begins to notice stranger and stranger things about everyone at the manor, including B; it seems like B shows up at the most inopportune times, and everyone else brushes off the lack of bride & groom as family tradition to not be seen before the wedding. Some bad luck curse or something. Although A reluctantly accepts the explanation, that doesn't explain B's oddities.

Everything comes to a head when A meets a couple who claim to be part of the wedding party, and the two's strange demeanour toward them cause A to really examine all that has happened up until now. The couple inviting them out for the night starts well, but ends in tragedy, causing A to decide they wanted to leave. While packing, B shows their face again, begging A not to leave and promising that things would be better for them; that same night, they have their first true romantic moment together, and things seem to change for the better.

The wedding day approaches fast, and the day before the family invites A to a huge dinner in honour of the couple. A is curious and strangely excited to finally see what they look like and meet them, and is given beautiful formal attire by B to wear to the dinner. Things take a turn for the worst, however, when it's revealed that A & B are the couple to be; they have no choice, as both their family and B threaten their very life should they try to run away. What will become of A? Will they manage to escape? Or will they fall prey to the strange creature of the night B has revealed themself to be?

notes: tw for suicidal ideation & mentions. based off the webcomic kitsune spirit. i'd like to be character b.

Character A's life has been pretty depressing lately, for some reason or another. Because of this, they've always had a hard time regulating their emotions and handling the responses to them. Ultimately, they feel like they've hit a dead-end in their life, and are ready to toss it all away; they don't see any other options, and because of that, they've decided to take one final hike up a mountain where they intend to do the deed. Their bag is packed, they've gotten all their supplies, they don't feel like they have any regrets about their decision.

About halfway up the mountain, however, they find a trapped fox spirit, who calls to them. Character B playfully teases A about their intentions, displaying they somehow knew why the hiker was there on the mountain. They try to convince A to undo their bindings, and at first A is sceptical, until B promises they'll grant A whatever they wish for if they help. A agrees and frees the fox, already knowing what they want from them.

Things go awry when B not only refuses to grant their wish, but goes out of their way to not let A die; they follow A all the way up the mountain, and stop them when A actually tries to go through with it. They don't try to talk A out of it, but they do stop them for whatever reason; the fox never elaborates on why. B always claims they just have their reasons.

And now, with a fox spirit clinging to them, A agrees to descend the mountain with B in tow, who intends to spend the rest of A's life giving them reasons to keep living.

notes: based off my girlfriend is a gumiho, which i just think is neat. it's basically slice-of-life-y kinda deal with a human teaching an old fox how to navigate the world while also attending to their needs ( for food, to learn, etc ). details are kind of hyperspecific, but don't really need to be 100% accurate; i just wanted to get the point across. i'd like to be character b.

Character A is a relentless troublemaker who always gets bailed out by their family ─ at first it was their parents, but after a tragic accident that left them living with their grandfather, that changed. Their grandfather wasn't the type to let them get away with so much, and as such, always demands the best from A; he pays their university tuition, and in return, demands that they keep up their grades. For the most part, A is capable of following through, but they still manage to get into trouble.

However, the most recent event is . . . not something they can tell their grandfather. For one day, while A was running away from their grandfather after being placed on what can only be noted as glorified house arrest from the old man, they manage to get stuck in the rain in the middle of nowhere. However, after some trudging through mud and muck, they finally find a temple, where a monk agrees to let them stay in the storage shed for the night as long as they promise not to go near the shrine, which everyone in the area knows holds a powerful beast that has been locked away for centuries. A agrees, but soon finds they have trouble sleeping.

Late in the night, while trying to call someone for help, A hears a voice calling out to them, whom they assume is the person they're trying to call at first . . . except they end up getting tricked into entering the shrine. Before they even really realise it, A has soon undone the binding holding the monster inside. While A runs for their life, the beast chases until everything goes black.

A wakes up with a person standing over them, curiously staring down at them. Character B claims to be the creature that was bound to the shrine, explaining that they're a fox spirit who, because A has released them, saved A's life after they ' died. ' A refuses to believe it, thinking B is just a normal human being, despite B adamantly claiming that they're something so much more. A manages to get away from B eventually, returning to school to find that they've been cut off entirely from their only remaining family, and having to rely on friends for help. However, while doing so, they inquire curiously about what their friends might know about the fox spirit B claims to be, the information sinking in and causing A to fear for not only their life, but their friends' as well.

It isn't until B shows up to retrieve the pearl keeping A alive from them, later that night, that the true realisation sinks in after seeing B's powers. B attempts to take the item . . . but seemingly decides against it, allowing A to continue living for now.

However, trouble should soon arise in the form of a hunter who desperately wants to get their hands on B, and knows just how to do so now that B is vulnerable due to losing their pearl.
